CRAZY INVESTIGATOR

FAMILY

haha that stinks that dad got poison ivy. that sounds miserable. how is dads work and stuff going? i sent him a letter last week

with pictures of the testosterzone but he never wrote me back, jerk. just kidding but seriously. Lucky, i want to go golfing so bad. But i can tell you a story that happened this week.

So remember how i told you about the inactive family that has been coming back and they brought the non member to church

last sunday. yeah so we went over to his house this week, his name is tyrone. haha he is absolutely nutsss.

We spent 3 hours at his house, yeah we didn't mean to but a lot of crazy stuff happened. so he just got a horse, and he doesn't know

how to take care of a horse at all. he was like elbowing it trying to get it to go a certain direction. so he was like alright lets take my

horse for a walk. so we did. he was just talking crazy the entire time. then we got to some mountain side, and he';s like check out

the fossils in these rocks...there were no fossils, it was like dirt. The whole time he was talking about his dad that lives next to him

and about how his dad is out to "get him" He said that his dad has threatened him, and he also said that like 5 other people have

threatened to kill him also. haha yea we don't know if its true or if he's off his rocker. But the reason that i told you this was because

we were trying to leave and get home, because we were already there forever. Then he's like hey i just got a new taylor made golf club,

do you like golf? haha yes. so he lives off in the mountains all by himself secluded from the real world obviously. ANd he gets a sack

of golf balls, and we just start hitting golfballs down into the valley from his back yard. haha. It was awesome, and it made me want to go

golfing really bad. anyways yeah that was my crazy experience for the week. But we met with the guy again, he came to church again

and he really wants to be baptized, and so we are just working on the lessons right now and if nothing goes wrong he should be getting

baptized within the next two weeks.

We got another new investigator in the singles ward. Her name is laura. she is from columbia, she speaks very little english but she refuses

to take the discussions from spanish missionaries because she wants to learn her english. She is awesome though, we taught lesson 2 and 3

about the plan of salvation and the gospel of jesus christ, and she seems pretty solid. Her fellowshipper was telling us that the concern that

is going to be the biggest problem is coffee. because she is from columbia where the grade a coffee is from. So hopefully she can get over that

but she moves back to columbia next month so we will have to be swift. haha she is funny though and she has a little 14 year old brother named

niko, and we went to a ward barbaque in lyons. Both of them were playing frisby and volleyball for the first time and it was hilarious.

but Lyons, it an awesome place. It is really close to estes park which by the way we are going to next week. but in lyons we were at meadow park

and the mountains that were surrounding it were awesome. I want to go back there for another p day and try to find some sweet hiking trails.

WOw that seems weird that callie knight is getting married, didn't the knighton girl get married too? who else is getting married and getting

there mission calls? is brayden christensen planning on going on a mission. pierce wrote me about 2 months ago and said that he was at church

with an emo girl and they were all over each other the whole time. sounds pretty filthy. how is gavin and kyle and taylor doing, are they still

trying to be cool, and not going to church?

haha to answer your question if it would be weird if things worked out with them. yes. but it would also be pretty cool because i dont need to learn who she is that much, because I already know her, and so that was good. It took me a little while to warm up to jess..haha just kidding.

you can tell her i told you that.

Can you do me a favor though, either you or derek or jess, if you could put the pictures that i have emailed to you, on my facebook, that would be awesome.

i always have members that tell me that they have looked at my facebook, and if i could have a ton of pictures from my mission on there that would be

pretty sweet. so please. Do i have to commit you and promise blessings? cause i wont.

Welp, i should probably get running, love ya, have good week, be safe, play lots of golf and tennis without me, see what i care.
